Machine learning and applications in ultrafast photonics

Abstract

Recent years have seen the rapid growth and development of the field of smart photonics, where machine-learning algorithms are being matched to optical systems to add new functionalities and to enhance performance. An area where machine learning shows particular potential to accelerate technology is the field of ultrafast photonics — the generation and characterization of light pulses, the study of light–matter interactions on short timescales, and high-speed optical measurements. Our aim here is to highlight a number of specific areas where the promise of machine learning in ultrafast photonics has already been realized, including the design and operation of pulsed lasers, and the characterization and control of ultrafast propagation dynamics. We also consider challenges and future areas of research.
